46 - Daniel Bateman - From Broadway to Vertical Drama...

Who doesn’t dream of Broadway as an
artist?
My guest today no longer has to dream about it — he has already
performed on Broadway before eventually diving into the world of
verticals and film.



Daniel Bateman joined me for a conversation
where we talk about what fascinates him about working in film and
vertical productions, what he misses most from his time in
theater, and — most importantly — what he pays close attention to
when choosing casting calls.


Having played both lead and lead antagonist roles, Daniel speaks
openly and honestly about why he often finds the pay offered for
antagonist roles unfair compared to lead roles. ️



Daniel enjoys watching some of his verticals after they’re
released — but like many of us, he’s occasionally disappointed by
post-production choices that can unfortunately ruin otherwise
great scenes. He also tries (much to my delight ) to bring humor
and charm into certain roles, which he admits is often
discouraged. Why that is — he explains here.



️ Why he loves acting so deeply, how it has shaped him as a
person, the reason he somehow managed to lose all of his bonus
points with me, and why he’ll be singing at the next recording —
you’ll find out all of that and much more in this podcast
episode.


Enjoy listening!
